The shop area for the railroad is complete . . . well, almost. The Wilsonart laminate is installed, all the baseboards and quarter-round trim are in place, and the plastic coverings have been removed from the shelving above the cabinets. There is still a bit of paint touch-up left. I say “almost complete” as I see the ugly reality that the white paint on the shelving isn’t the same color as the white paint on the cabinets. One would think that white is white<\/em> but that ain’t so (as the photos show). If it nags me, I’ll have to slap a coat of “new” white over those shelves. Judge for yourself below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The storage and secondary work surface cabinet. Note the shade of white on it compared to the original white paint on the shelving above.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The main work counter. The sink is now installed and I’ll be adding a few other things such as a model paint rack, tool holders, and other “accessories” to aid in my model building. The laminate color is a bit lighter in person than these photos show. It’s a smooth surface with a matt finish, and I’m sure I’ll be happy with it.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
The lavatory in the rest room is now in service. It just needs the towel rack reinstalled and the mirror hung, both are on hand.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I’ve been working on a “final” list of things left to do and making some pretty good progress. The trim installation is complete in the main train room . . . all that awaits is some caulking, filling of nail holes, and some touch-up paint. After that, all of the remaining layout leg bracing can be reinstalled and the plastic covering removed from the layout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m confident that trains will be rolling this winter! \"\"<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
